Network security provider Check Point Software Technologies reported third quarter net profit that beat expectations and said it has acquired Israel’s Dome9 to strengthen its position in cloud security.

Check Point earned $1.38 per diluted share excluding one-time items in the quarter, up from $1.30 a year earlier. Revenue grew 4 percent to $471 million, the Israel-based company said on Wednesday.

It was forecast to earn $1.36 a share on revenue of $466 million, according to I/B/E/S data from Refinitiv.

“Third quarter results reached the top end of our projections, with better than anticipated strength coming from the US and Europe,” Chief Executive Gil Shwed said.
